1. How To Effectively Compare Upgrades as an Destruction Warlock

Due to the simplicity of determining upgrades with a simulation in the
current era of the game, we recommend using the popular tool Raidbots to determine which pieces of gear
offer the most potential for your character. The main reason why this is a
huge advantage is due to the huge number of variables that differ from
character to character, such as Azerite Traits, Stat Quotients, and Scale
Factors.

The Top Gear function
can be especially useful, as it allows you to compare multiple items and item
types to find the best combination of upgrades.

Learning to use the tools available will allow you to reach the most
accurate conclusions with the least effort. It is highly recommended you avail
yourself of these tools, and they will serve you well when evaluating
items.

2. Best in Slot Items for Destruction Warlock

This list illustrates some of the best available pre-raid items for the
Destruction Warlock specialization. We will update the list to include raid
items closer to the release of Uldir.

Bear in mind that this list is a template rather than an end point. We
recommend simming using the Top Gear function to find the best setup for your
character, which can depend on factors such as Talents, Azerite Traits, and
Stat Distribution.
